Turning 17 next month. I look a lot older though.

Well I feel so awkward now. =S

Took my Fuji on its first real ride. Climbing, long fire roads into the local mountains, curves, and descents. The performed rather well and I felt fine on platform pedals. On the dirt I was even passing mountain bike guys with my 28mm tires It is hard packed but I was still rocky and slippery. Roughly 40 miles in 3 something hours

That seems like an awesome ride with neat scenery hairnet, you liked the lambdas? Do you think it would be possible to run holdfast/ feetbelt type straps with them

Maybe. Image search them and you will see they have a couple slots by the spindle. But yeah, these pedals are great. My feet are large and they feel totally supported. These would be huge for people with smaller feet

Today i did the mash Cutty cross alley cat on my gtb.... dear good what have i done lol at least i finished

today I watched requiem for a dream for the first time... wow

That movie reminds me too much of people I knew when I was in my early twenties. I can't watch it. I mean, none of us lost an arm or anything, but I knew plenty of people that ended up dead or in jail or doing stupid stuff for a fix. ****ing sad.

Tonight I did this: https://app.strava.com/activities/26767443. Top speed of 34.2, on 48/17 gearing, on mostly flat ground. Rad.

Whadya get?

non cycling related, lol.

I happen to have one of these installments near my home in the bay area; it's a shame the sheriff's dept. retrofitted the site to be a radio communications hub due to it being situated on top of a mountain. (keeping with the tradition of it being restricted to common folk)

Last night i had my gfs brothers wedding, and today i have a hell of a hangover

Threw up twice last night, still nauseous.

Danced my ass off though, had a really good time sans vomit


Dont think i could even ride bikes today when i get home as much as i want to, woof.

Today I am rushing out the door for day 2 of volunteering for the Bicycle Film Festival. Block party and BMX/FGFS demos and contests, then film screenings, then afterparty. Should be a good, if chilly day (I have to man a table at the block party outside for 5 hours.)

Lolz, i was pretty hung over this morning too and this sqrl calls me up and wanted to ride at 8am. I was like uuhhhhhhh

buddy in NYC lost his battle with cancer during the storm. services today. bummed a bunch of us can't be there. will plan a memorial bash sometime when everyone can be together.

ended up scoring slightly used Sidi Diablo boots for the price of my old messenger bag and $40. little close in the left toebox with midweight wool socks and liners, but have different size feet and have to suck it up. water/wind proofness will be worth it.

avoiding eating too much, even after my ride, because the local Chinese place makes their own dumplings on Saturdays. will eat all the steamed dumplings.

Today I dropped the Xtracycle off at the shop cause I was too lazy to give it a good once over (adjustments,lubing,etc)-they always like when I bring it in,it's a conversation piece for EVERY customer that coems in,LOL!

Today I'm determined to NEVER EVER IN ETERNITY buy anything with a ATI graphics chip. Catalyst drivers are designed by short yellow bus special people.

Today I went on a "hi haters" ride. Skinny jeans and clipless on the bike path, tailing roadies and supping tri-girls.

Butternut squash soup in the pot. Am filled with trepidation.

I need to move out.

My budget gaming rig has a Sapphire 6870, never had any problems.

What troubles are you facing?

today i returned home from long island and had a generous nap, now i play D3 demo and see if i should buy it with a $50 bestbuy giftcard i found

Don't. D3 might be nice to newer players, but even most of them find that the game is a waste of time. If you ever played and liked D2, don't buy it.

If you played D2 and liked it, play Torchlight 2.

Its also only 20 bucks.

today i was happy to ride a bicycle in NJ. gas lines everywhere. grumpy people, tension rising. it was nice to get around on pedal power.
